"Jimenez, I, are we really going to leave our business and run away?" Bernadotte said unwillingly as he watched Jimenez pack his things.

"Unless, of course, the news comes back that is false. Jimenez checked what he wanted to take without looking back, the time was too short to take everything, so he had to take the most important things.

"I said hurry up, we must leave before dark, or it will be too late. Jimenez, after checking his things, urged Bernadotte to speak.

"But maybe it's not as bad as you think. "It's just that a few cities are now opposing the ambergris trade and have burned down some incense parlors." ”

"It's just that a few cities are now opposing the trade in ambergris and burning down some incense parlors. Jimenez repeated what he had just said in Bernadotte's voice, and then changed his tone: "They also destroyed the ships of Titania in the city of Pezi. ”

"So what, it's all Titanians, and we shouldn't be happy that they're down, and those greedy pigs have taken over most of the High Elves, and if not, do we need to come here to curry favor with these savage Centaurs?" Bernadotte shrugged.

Jimenez straightened up, raised his hands slightly to his chest and then suddenly relaxed, as if he was about to throw an invisible ball out, "If you believe my judgment, I don't think the High Elves' opposition to the trade in ambergris this time will definitely not be just that, in fact, I have always collected their attitudes towards ambergris, and there are people who support it." Naturally, there are also those who oppose it. It's just that the opposition is too scattered. So it didn't pose much of a threat to us before. But this time, the anti-ambergris operation began in Pei Ji City on the West Coast. It will ignite the condemnation of us by those who oppose it like a spark. You should be very glad that these High Elves are their first target of their own city, so the Titanians will bear the brunt, and their possessions and lives will be threatened. We must hurry back to safety before the tide is fully up, or it will be too late. ”

"But, Jimenez, what about our investment? We've invested a lot of money in development, and the wealth is rolling in, so give it up, and those vulgar centaurs will be bad, and they will all be cheap. Bernadotte said dejectedly, "The thought of this will be more sad than taking my life." Jimenez, do we have to go?, the High Elves are against the ambergris trade, but not the Centaurs, and they still love our stuff. ”

"Don't be stupid. The Centaurs don't have anti-ambergris, but you can guarantee that when the High Elves ask them to hand us over. Will they not do it?" Jimenez ruthlessly shattered his illusions, pointing out the great risks involved.

"Pack your things and go, if you don't trust my judgment, you can stay. "Of course money is important, but my life is even more important, because I will definitely earn more money if I live." Damn, we have to go now. The facilities and wealth here are lost to the Centaurs and are cheap to them, but trust me, they are only keeping it for the time being, and we will be back. We have to rush back to Asturias as soon as possible, tell our friends at home about the changes here, and at the same time enlist the support of society and the state. We need to convince the Kingdom to reclaim the loss here. As long as the kingdom is willing to step forward and quell the High Elves' anti-trade actions, we can come back. Don't worry, the Centaurs don't have to worry about it, they can't play with the facilities we brought, let alone organize efficient management, they will soon find out that without us, even if they guard a mountain of gold, they will return to their former pitiful days. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's get out of here as soon as possible. But there's one last question, Jackson, what about Jackson? He's our shareholder, and he's the nephew of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and we've been relying on his connections to keep most of our business from being interfered with. We just left, and when we got back, how would we explain it? God, I remembered that he had been staying in Fiji City for the sake of that elf woman, which was now the hardest hit area. Bernadotte said with his hand on his forehead.

Jimenez's movements froze for a moment, and then he waved his hand unconsciously, "Let's just say he's dead, killed by the High Elves." Whether this is the case or not, we can say this first, both by passing the buck and by stirring up resentment from the High Elves, which will help us convince the kingdom to come forward to recover our losses. ”

"That's all there is to it, and I hope poor Jackson is all right. Bernadotte said-

Before the High Elves' anti-trade storm could blow completely, Jackson's two partners retreated to a port city on the east coast with Jimenez's keen touch.

In those few short days, the High Elf society was arguing like never before over the anti-trade actions that had emerged from Pei Ji City, whether it was an atrocity or an act of justice?

Previously, because many of the elven nobles liked ambergris and got benefits in it, there were differences among the middle and upper classes, some people supported it, some people opposed it, and some people were neutral.

For the sake of harmony and unity, the Elven Court did not prohibit the trade in ambergris, and the extent to which it spread in the High Elven City depended on the attitude of the city's consuls and the elven nobles with great influence.

But this time it was different, some of the High Elves led by Melinda led them to oppose the ambergris in various cities, thinking that it was causing the depraved people to be connected, if these opposition elements were scattered, they might not be able to set off this storm, but when they started from Pei Ji, they broke out a strong opposition, and because of Melinda, his father Edgar had to change his position, and after supporting it head-on, it was like igniting one bomb after another.

Similar actions have erupted in cities one after another, even if not all of them have achieved such results as Pei Ji, and some have even been suppressed by the elven nobles, arresting and detaining opponents, but most of Melinda's goals have been achieved.

Oppose or continue to allow the trade in ambergris. It has become an unavoidable problem in front of the Elven Royal Court. They can no longer afford not to show their attitude. Otherwise, the riots may continue and lead to a split in elven society.

When Jimenez and the others fled to the port city on the east coast, a sabotage of the incense hall broke out in that city, but it was suppressed by the local consuls and elven nobles.

At this time, the elven nobles had not changed their attitude towards the ambergris merchants, because these high-ranking elves on the east coast had also taken a share of the ambergris trade before.

Jimenez was right, they had time to leave, and before the High Elves had blocked their route to leave, they spent a lot of money on a ship that someone else was leaving. With some documents and magic contracts that could prove the relationship between assets in the future, he squatted in the boiler room of that ship, and finally returned to the Azure Continent.

The reason for this embarrassment is that they no longer dare to go to the place where their fleet is anchored in order to return safely, although it is relatively close to the habitat of the Centaurs, but the port city of the High Elves is said to have also broken out in anti-trade actions, and all the incense houses have been destroyed, and the sea ships have been impounded, and they have come to the door. Not only will they not be able to leave by boat, but they will even be imprisoned. Therefore, it is better to take a long detour to the port on the east coast.

Of course, Jimenez is not the only smart man, but now there are only a few ships that can be squeezed by those who want to return to the homeland in time, and they must hurry, and the ghost knows when these high elves will be treacherous, and they will not be able to leave if they want to.

Therefore, it is better to squat in the boiler room, and Jimenez has to rush back desperately-

Jimenez was able to make a fortune, and his ingenuity, decisiveness, timing, and keen sense of smell before danger came were absolutely second to none among the merchants who came to venture into the Azure Continent.

He was not mistaken, when he and Bernadotte desperately fled back to their homeland, the High Elves were also in the midst of a very critical argument, and they had to rush to escape in time during the argument, otherwise they would have to be left behind like their cargo.

By the time Jimenez and the two of them boarded the ship, the High Elves had already launched twenty-six anti-ambergris trades, and the middle and lower High Elves had many conflicts with the local ruling elves.

The Elven Court had to take a stand, so it had to convene a meeting with the Elven Elder and the High Priests of the Temple.

At the outset of the meeting, the four Elven Kings, led by the brothers Arenanan, Fernafinn, Amrath and Amnord, considered the anti-trade practices in Fiji City to be atrocities and a challenge to order that should be stopped, and continued to allow the ambergris trade to exist.

The attitude of the four Great Elven Kings is not surprising, because they themselves may not all be interested in ambergris, but many of their families and subordinates who chase them have benefited from ambergris, especially the sons of Fenafin, and the introduction of ambergris ointment began with one of his sons.

If Pei Jicheng's accusation against the ambergris paste is correct, then the face of the Great Elf King Fenafin will be beaten badly, and it is even possible that his descendant will be punished for this.

Alfred, Oliver, Hilinger, and Anel supported Pei Jicheng's accusations against the parangious merchants, and even raised the controversy that was originally limited to the parangious trade to the level of opposition to all trade, believing that the High Elves had previously determined that the magical changes being carried out in many countries on the Azure Continent were destroying nature and the plane, so the goods they produced were most likely the products of this path. The Emerald Continent is self-sufficient and does not need to trade, and to trade with them is to support their evil deeds, so it is necessary not only to ban the trade in ambergris ointment, but also to cut off all trade.

The argument between the two sides became more and more intense, and the neutral two elf kings, Angrod and Karanhill, could not get them to stop, but were forced to take a stand.

On the fourth day of the debate, the most honorable Elven Emperor, His Majesty Altanis, the Flower of Light, summoned the father and daughter of the city lord of Peiji, who were the first to break out in the anti-trade incident.

As a result, in front of all the big names, Melinda was sonorous and won the praise of Caranhill.

On the fifth day, some of the High Elves' allies came uninvited, and three of the four druids, all but Dawn Flame, all arrived, and they all said that Melinda had done nothing wrong, because the merchants from the Azure Continent were guilty of tempting the Centaurs to savagely exploit and destroy nature and planes.

On the sixth day, the leader of the Holy Unicorns, Silverhorn Kelleboon, also asked the Elven Court to release Melinda on behalf of the unicorn clan and punish the merchants of the other continent who had caused great damage to the plane and nature.

And on the seventh day, people from all over the country who support Melinda and oppose the ambergris ointment jointly signed a letter.

In such a situation, both the actual support and the momentum went to the side that opposed the trade in ambergris.

The last straw that broke the camel's back came from the last of the four druids, Dawn Flame, when Melinda opposed the ambergris, considering the nature of the great druid, she was worried that it would be too intense and lead to uncontrollable events, so she did not ask for his help, and the other three great druids did not unite with him, because they thought that having the three of them speak together was enough to represent the attitude of the druids.

But the most conservative of the Great Druids came anyway and came up with his accusations. (To be continued.) )
